Fox News Channel contributor Brit Hume shared the news that Facebook had disabled his account in a Twitter post Thursday, adding only that he was informed the action was due to “using a false identity.”

Though he sought a response from the social media site responsible, his post also prompted others to weigh in with possible reasons for the block.

Hey @facebook. Can you explain why my account was disabled, allegedly for using a false identity? It’s totally absurd. Thanks in advance.
